#after effects of trauma

[furiousgoldfish]

How many of these are you starved out of?

human interaction +5 conversation +3 attention +2 familiarity (interacting with familiar people) +3 fun dynamics (joking, bantering, dreaming together) +3 human-provided comfort +2 reassurance +2 acceptance +5 community +6 play +5 familiar, casual touch +5 comforting touch, long-term contact +6 bond +3 understanding +3 intimacy +3 physical intimacy +2

These are basic human needs, and when we're starved of them, our quality of life suffers. Our sense of community, and our ability to relax and believe that everything is going to be okay, can get diminished by the long-term starvation. We can also get more desperate, more overwhelmed with the cravings, and more willing to do anything in return to get some or any of this fulfilled.

Max score is 58.

Big shout-out to the ocs and lore that depicts physical/appearance changes due to high concentration and uses of magic btw that shit is so cool. Whether your wizard's hair turns blue or straight up grows an extra arm due to the excessive amount of powerful magic they use everyday I eat that shit up. Bonus points if it's a rare/newly discovered condition or if your wizard is just straight up unrecognizable from arc 1 to arc 4. Bonus bonus points if the wizard gains a disability from it and has to learn to adapt to their new condition

Dean wakes to whimpers and for one terrible second, he wants to go back to sleep. It's that thought that pushes him with urgency out of his bed and into Sam's.

They've tried so many things to make Sam's waking easier so at this point Dean's hands don't shake like the first time. He shushes his brother like he used to for nightmares when they were children as he pulls him back to his chest and slides inside. He's still wet and open from last night so it's easy.

Dean closes his eyes, thinks of simpler times, and starts moving.

Even if Betty got Simon back without Golb I feel like the effects of the war and fallout would have made him a different man anyway.

Like they’re living in Ooo and while Betty sees that these are reminiscences of their old life, Simon remembers the bombs falling and people getting sick and dying. He remembers having to run for his life and care for someone who he probably believed he was lying to about things ending up okay. He watched the world, not just his personal world, fall apart.

I mean it’s somewhat hinted that Betty jumped to the future before any real effects of the war hit meaning she can’t really understand his feelings on that even if she gets the whole magic madness is a theoretical post Magic Betty state.

I like the idea that even if together something will forever separate them from being as close as they once were.

Srry I dont know if this is spoilers, but what would the Season 2 Finale be like in Canary Continuity? Would anything be super different?

its simultaneously both a spoiler and not, because there's some stuff about ninpo in CW that's spoilers so i cant go over it yet. NEEDLESS TO SAY they will already know about it (trying to phrase this in a way that doesnt give anything away), so im not sure how the emotional core would really be with raph, considering spoilers spoilers they dont rlly have to "unlock" it when theyre already so knowledgeable. all i can say with that. im pretty sure everything else would be closer to canon, albeit with a lot more intensity because everything's hardened them quite a bit (theyre still HORRENDOUSLY silly, its a rise classic, but when it comes to important battle there's less fucking around, and they watch out for each other a lot more, especially with donnie who's going to struggle on the field despise his insistence otherwise. i think the way they approach the shredder would be WILDLY different.)

HOWEVER

i think losing the old lair is going to be less traumatic and a lot more cathartic. i wouldnt kill off shelldon because ive been cruel enough, donnie would probably just have to rebuild him. theyd look at the rubble of their former home and finally breathe.

its scary to have to go through the rubble and salvage what they can. its the loss of a lot of childhood memories, and change is hard. but fuck, that place was a HELLHOLE of bad memories for all of them. i think they'd jump at the excuse to move, despite having to leave a lot behind and having to rebuild. unlike CU i think the process would be a little slower and everyone would be helping out to the best of their ability, and it would genuinely just be... healing. it's a group project. donnie didn't even realize before this point how much weight being in the old lair put on his chest until he felt the relief of it gone. they have a chance to rebuild, and while its still an adjustment, it's happier. being in the old environment is definitely a contributor to his anxiety NOW in cw, mind you.

i think what you should worry about is the movie. not something i'll ever be touching but think about how raph would react after the fact to beating up and choking leo while kraangified. that is all.

i will say, the switch around from people claiming that the backlash against ashton was bc he failed to represent the anti-authoritarian, politically leftist ideology of many punks to those same people turning on ashton for expressing the anti-authoritarian, politically leftist ideology of many punks is so funny

I think Tubbo is different now, well obviously. But I think In small ways.

He watches the geese now.

He watches them fly, he watches them just, do geese things. He looks at them and he wonders if he tried hards enough he could see his goslings, he wonders if he watched them long enough he too could be carefree like them, he could fly again.

Sleeping only brings back the nightmares, his goslings scared faces, their cries as they said goodbye, their faces painted in blood

So instead he watches the geese.

A mother looses her egg, and he watches her mourn for her baby that didn’t even get a chance to see the world.

When he hears the sound of the tasks and is forced into panic and oh god oh god no no he isn’t done yet please don’t let him go, when he hears a sword unsheathed and his mind is forced into the battlefields and there’s blood matting his hair and his wings are bleeding

He retreats to the spot he had made for himself. And watches the geese

A mother nips at her goslings, pruning their newly forming feathers, and they’re so happy in a way that tubbo can’t even imagine.

When the phantom pain of his wings weigh heavy on his back and he can hardly stand he stumbles to the geese pond he created, and drifts to sleep and dreams of flying, of wings and gold feather tips, the water ebbing at his fingers.

And he wakes up to the goslings tucked around him, the mother by his head. There’s a blanket around his shoulders.

He never watched the geese before.

He does now

Gosh, rewatching OUAT, I love what a cringefail loser Hook is. Man got Worf Effected straight out of the gate. He's introduced all cool and suave and capable, and he proceeds to be absolutely destroyed in every fight, ever. Good grief, he's 0 for 2 against Belle of all people; not to knock my girl Belle, but she's not what I would consider a front-line combatant.

What's the percentage breakdown of scenes ending with him being knocked out? 40%? What does his MRI look like? It can't be good. Did he become redeemed purely by the power of traumatic brain injury? How many times has this man been flung fully across a room? I think his ribs are dust held together by tenacity.

Kinn’s Startle Response

Okay, so we all know that waking Kinn up from a deep sleep is a bad idea, right? Porsche shows us this very clearly in episodes 5 and 6, where he suddenly had/would have had a gun pointed right in his face:

But, this isn’t the only times we see Kinn startled awake - first, later in episode 6, he’s woken by Porsche in the early morning:

And this is probably the most relaxed we’d seen Kinn, up to this point in the show - he isn’t scared, he doesn’t go into murder mode, he just looks over at Porsche with new affection.

I think this moment makes it clear that Kinn’s previous startle response is tied directly to his levels of anxiety/stress. He’d just spent a day away from being a mafia boss - learning to fish, joking around, bathing with Porsche - and he’d also just made his first apology to Porsche. He’s finally unburdened, so his subconscious is no longer on high alert.

And this extends to episode 11, when Tay and Time sneak in to surprise Kinn and Porsche on a sleepy morning in bed:

Kinn (and Porsche)’s first response is to open his eyes to look at what’s disturbing them, then after he realizes it’s just his asshole friends he kicks at them. It’s no more violent a response than any other guy with his friends, and that’s because his mind is settled - he’s relaxing in bed with his love, with his family’s approval and no more Tawan/mole to deal with. Life is good!

Besides being adorably awkward (poor Porsche 😂), I think this scene also gives us some extra insight into Kinn’s startle response - it seems like it was a recent development for him, maybe even after he took over for his dad (when I imagine the death threats ramped up). That’s because of Tay and Time, who we know have been Kinn’s friends for a while (since at least his relationship with Tawan) and are close enough to him that they’re let into his suite without being announced:

If Kinn’s startle response had always been to be instantly ready to murder someone, his best friends would have surely learned to avoid doing it a long time ago. Instead, I think we’re seeing that Porsche has brought Kinn back to his actual default state - a peaceful mind, and arms ready to snuggle

Multi-stage operation! Once you clear one organ, it's on to the next! Also, a multi-stage tumor; laser it first, then you can extract it.

I also accidentally showed off a bit of the scalpel tool; the tool itself is complete, now I just need to make something that reacts to it.

Assuming IAU Sky does live and make it off the island, I can only imagine how hard it's going to be for him to readjust to normal life. He's missing for a year right? An d being hunted that whole time and nearly dying and trying to survive in the jungle can't be good for his mental state

He does indeed live and make it home :)

...but yes, it's very hard for him to readjust. Being hunted within an inch of his life for over a year and everything else that happens while he's on the island leaves him with a lot of mental stuff he has to work through. Just figuring out how to live without constantly expecting a laser through the back is... hard. It helps that he has a very supportive family behind him though, and Sky works his way through it.
